Ratings and reviews

This app is slightly harder to use than the other best apps but it has a much more flexible melody recognition trainer. It is light years ahead of the other apps for creating custom exercises for yourself. There's no parameter that isn't tweakable. Intervals, scales, octaves, timing, etc etc. It also has an almost unlimited number of different instruments available for exercises. Something all the other apps are sorely lacking. This is a winner

2/08/20 Learning Intervals? Perfect. 3/24/21 When I started I was basically tone deaf. I would focus on two intervals at a time and try to tell the difference for hours with no progress. Literally thousands of trials. Sence then I have leared to hear all intervals within an octave, ascending and descending with above 94% success rate. Sometimes I think the app could be more random in selecting the interval, but it works well, and my improvement speaks for the effectiveness.

The only interval trainer that I have found the actually works, before I was just guessing (years of going in the exam room and just saying major third), but now I have intervals mostly in my grasp, it is the melody's that play when you get it wrong, that really helps you create an emotional connection to each interval that allows me to recognise them. And I haven't even got to the other excersises. The amount customisation and features this app has is unbelievable. I've donated.
